"...the lesbian Tamalpais High School student... was pelted with eggs, had her locker and car vandalized, and has been flooded with handmade hate messages? The words "Die Fag" were spray painted on her school's wall.

The incidents sparked outrage among the school's students, teachers, and administrators, who came together for an anti-hate vigil.

The Los Angeles Times headline does not mention the sexual orientation of the hoaxer, but does describe the sexual orientation of the targeted student. Sound familiar?

It is not clear from the article if the hoaxer was also responsible for anonymous threats made to gay Tam High teachers."

These people just want attention, and they are willing to do anything to get it, whether it is pushing homosexuality in our faces, or making up fake incidents that can give them the excuse to play the drama queen.

("One cannot say that a law is right simply because it is a law.")

most don't have full female wrestling teams. If a girl can try out in a certain weight class and perform better than any other males also trying out in that weight class (or a certain number, depending on open positions, of course, during tryouts), then the school has to allow her to be on the team.

In these cases it is safe to assume a hoax is at work. The exception to the rule is a real case of harassment. From the statement below, I'd say these hoaxes occur on a regular basis with no comment from police.

Paula Pilecki, executive director of San Anselmo's Spectrum, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group, said she was surprised that police released a statement about the girl's admission.

"The next few weeks will no doubt be difficult for everyone involved, and I hope the community reacts with compassion," she said.

thats the advantage to her of being a girl wrestling against guys. you can't play your full game, and treat hear as an equal opponent on a level playing field like you would against another guy opponent. and when you do, she claims you were groping her. Its a win-win for her. and a lose lose for you.
